  Jesse Malin performed a really high powered set at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ on Friday June 1st. He performed his new hit song “Broken Radio.” This was the track in which Malin called on Bruce Springsteen for the filming of the music video. The music video featuring “The Boss” will be posted ASAP. One of the

• THE WOODS (2006) Review

  THE WOODS (2006) Heather is a rebellious teen who has been brought to an isolated all-girls school deep within an old forest in an attempt for her to learn some control over herself. Heather is none too keen on the idea, and attempts to worm her way out of it, but to no avail. She meets the headmistress Ms. Traverse, befriends shy Marcy, and

• HORROR BUSINESS Review

  HORROR BUSINESS (2005) The genre of horror offers something unique and wonderful for both the viewer and filmmaker. For the viewer, it allows an emotional exposure - whether it be the willful submission to fright or the ability to confront ones own mortality and the reality of death - that can not be found in any other genre. For the filmmaker, it

  A powerful, award-winning exploration of the American involvement in Iraq by Eugene Jarecki, Why We Fight (2005) applies inspiration from Frank Capra’s World War II motivational films and President Eisenhower’s farewell address that gave us the term military-industrial complex to explain where the thinking behind this adventure

  Ivan Reitman has directed many funny movies, including Stripes, both Ghostbusters, Twins, Kindergarten Cop, Junior and Dave and writer Don Payne comes out of the Simpsons camp (and also co-wrote this summer’s F4: Rise of the Silver Surfer) so the creative pedigree is certainly strong. Actors Luke Wilson, Eddie Izzard and even Anna Faris have

  BBC America had this 2000 mobster flick on their Brit Movie night last Sunday. It’s got Sean Bean, Alex Kingston and Tom Wilkerson in what I saw posited as an English Goodfellas, and I loves me my Goodfellas. In the end Essex Boys was okay but not great; the comparison to that great Scorsese flick is a stretch in several dimensions. Bean is

• Thank You for Smoking

  Tags: Politics, Comedy, Recommended, Reviews

  I read Christopher Buckley’s novel from which this movie came and though the film isn’t bad the book was better. Probably Aaron Eckhart, who plays Nick Naylor, the lead, is just a tad too bright and shiny compared to my mental illustration formed while reading. Thank You for Smoking is, as most of Buckley’s tales, very dark

  Going against my previous thinking that this 1999 Johnny Depp/Charlize Theron movie wasn’t worth watching, I gave it a spin yesterday. Sadly, I should have stuck with my original thought because writer/director Rand Ravich clearly did a better job pitching this scifi-ish thriller to the studio suits than he did in getting the film in the

  Published: July 14, 2007, 6:08 pm

  Tags: Science Fiction, Crime, Action, Recommended, Reviews

  This 1995 flick, which I watched the other day since it was on the HD On Demand list, is a fun adaptation of a longrunning British comic that works for me mainly because director Danny Cannon keeps each scene to a bare minimum (not the bangs and the booms but the dialog and length) and star Sly Stallone plays Dredd as so straight you’ll need

  Published: July 14, 2007, 5:31 pm

  Tags: Thriller, Drama, Recommended, Reviews

  A 1948 classic psychological thriller from Alfred Hitchcock starring Bill favorite James Stewart along with John Dall and a young Farley Granger, Rope is a take on the sensational 1924 murder case of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb. Hitchcock does something rarely seen these days, staging the entire film inside a single, modest-sized space,

  Tags: Comedy, Recommended, Reviews

  This is a fun Saturday night cable movie. Not one I’d have been happy to pay $10 each to see in the theater but the colorful fashionistas do look really good on our HDTV screen. Star Anne Hathaway’s made several fairy tale princess movies and The Devil Wears Prada (2006) seems like a bit of a translation of one of those to the

  Can you believe it’s been 19 years since we first heard John McClane tell off some baddie with his trademark retort “Yippiekiyay, motherfucker!” right before he blows them to the next life? In 1988 no one outside of academia had heard of the Internet, and Tim Berners-Lee wouldn’t invent the World Wide Web for another half

  Tags: History, Fantasy, Drama, Recommended, Reviews

  Last fall two seemingly similar movies came out around the same time and this fine film was overshadowed by the other, The Prestige, but since I haven’t seen that one yet I won’t opine on whether the reaction was justified. Certainly The Illusionist is a good, enjoyable entertainment, a creative success for writer/director Neil Burger
